CPU-Z

CPU Z is a great tool for checking out hardware issues on Windows computers. It gives you detailed information about your system, including your CPU's specs like type, processing power, core count, architecture, and clock speed. It also covers RAM and GPU details, all neatly organized in a table format that's easy to navigate. Available for both Windows and Android, this free app acts as a go to resource for understanding your system's hardware setup. Other similar diagnostic tools include Aida64, Core Temp, Speccy, HWiNFO, HWMonitor, and MSI Afterburner.
This free tool gathers all kinds of data about your Windows system. While having some technical know how can help you understand everything better, the interface is pretty easy to use. If you want to customize the app's settings, just make sure the 'cpuz.ini' configuration file is in the same folder as the 'cpuz.exe' file.

More System Information
The app goes beyond the processor, showing details about your mainboard like the vendor, model, revision, BIOS version, chipset info (northbridge and southbridge), and any sensors being used. The memory section shows the frequency, timing, and module specs using the Serial Presence Detect feature. It also checks if your PC is running a supported version of Windows and DirectX. For graphics, it displays things like interface version, link width, maximum bandwidth, and sideband info. You'll also get data about cache descriptors, size, and speed.
